Stakeholder,<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 24pt">The Department is resuming its
tradition of hosting a public Budget Listening Session to accept input on
the upcoming fiscal year budget from stakeholders and consumers. We welcome
constructive ideas and suggestions that complement our shared mission of service
to an estimated one in four New Jersey residents.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 24pt">Please note that due to space
and time constraints, individuals interested in attending should bring, <A
href="mailto:DHSBudgetInput@dhs.state.nj.us" target=_blank><SPAN
style="COLOR: windowtext">email</SPAN></A> or mail their testimony so that we
can effectively categorize the comments and consider/relay them accurately as
the proposed budget is being developed. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 24pt"> <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 24pt">Verbal testimony will be
limited strictly to 3 minutes per person and only one representative per agency
or group will be called. The room capacity is 90, so testimony will be first
come, first heard and people who finish their remarks will be asked to be
courteous to others who may be waiting by not holding seats.

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 24pt">As in previous years, this is a
listening session, there will be no Q&A. I will be joined by Deputy
Commissioners Valerie Harr and Dawn Apgar, as well as Chief Operations and
Finance Officer Christopher Bailey. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
